As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump from deploying federalized National Guard troops into Chicago.

This ruling reinforces what we already knew: It is illegal for the president to use manufactured emergencies to send soldiers into our cities.

Peaceful protest only.

Record and distribute any encounter with ICE or National Guard.

Counter MAGA's lies with the truth.

They flood the zone with shit. We clean it up.

Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and he’s following a four point plan to do it.

Here’s what you need to know about it — and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.

This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.

Be warned.

This is Finley. He has a rare genetic mutation that causes patches of different colors in his coat. It is completely harmless, but it does make him completely handsome. 14/10 (IG: jaktlabben.finley)

a lab pup sits and looks up at the camera. his fur is a mottled blend of blond and black, and he’s standing on his leash with one front paw.

a closeup of baby finley resting his little chin on a blanket. one of his ears is curled under at the tip and his eyes look a little sleepy.

finley sits on a rock next to a body of water and squints slightly into the sun with his pink tongue sticking out.

For true believers at the Trump spiritual advisor's Gateway Church, when a pastor sexually abuses a 12-year-old girl it's really no big deal, as long as God forgives him. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Supporters of Pastor who sexually abused 12-year-old, say God has forgiven him

Greg Abbott wasted tax dollars on political stunts, like bussing migrants to Democratic cities, so he could look tough for Daddy Trump. Meanwhile, the state floods, the power grid goes out, and no one can make a living.

And here we go again.

Stop voting for these useless assholes, Texas.

#Chicago Mayor Johnson says Abbott needs to focus on the problems he created in Texas instead of spending $100s of millions of Texas tax money to bus ppl to Blue states.

If you deal with chronic health problems, like I do, or you know someone who does, this is a very easy issue.

Universal health care works.

Health care is a human right.

Demand it.

Bald Villain 🔥🤘🔥 @baldvillain.bsky.social · 13h

Health care should be free, like it is in Canada, Mexico, Australia, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, and many others.

Taxes on billionaires should pay for it.

Keep your eye on the ball and don't give up.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Donald Trump just floated using the Insurrection Act if courts block his National Guard deployments.

The Insurrection Act does NOT allow him to use the military for whatever purpose he wants regardless of the law—and it's dangerous for him to suggest it.

Trump open to invoking the Insurrection Act

The comments came a day after a federal judge blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Whether it’s Joe Biden attending weekly mass or Donald Trump’s ICE agents shooting a priest in the face with a pepper ball, presidents of both sides have directly engaged with the Catholic faith.

If we're at the place where the president is calling for a governor to be jailed for no good reason, our democracy is in real danger.

Anyone concerned about the balance of power between states and the federal government should speak out now against this authoritarian posturing.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

This is Rev David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was kneeling to pray at a protest. He's one of three clergymen that ICE shot in the head.
